From the WSB West Seattle Holiday Guide, to which we’re adding more events and info every day – the Argosy Cruises Christmas Ship sets sail the day after Thanksgiving, and its three West Seattle visits will be on the same schedule as last year:

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 24: Don Armeni Boat Ramp (1220 Harbor SW), 5:35 pm.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 25, WS STOP 1: Salty’s on Alki (1936 Harbor SW; WSB sponsor), 5:35 pm

ALSO NOVEMBER 25, WS STOP 2: Alki Beach Park (usually near the Bathhouse), 8:35 pm, with a bonfire

So far, the forecast looks clear and dry for both nights. If you haven’t seen the Christmas Ship before, it’s a brightly lit boat (used for tours the rest of the year) with a choir on board (and paid passengers), stopping offshore for a free 20-minute mini-concert of holiday songs. Again this year, the singers for all three West Seattle performances will be The Dickens Carolers. See this year’s full regional Christmas Ship schedule here.

Years ago they would sail down to Lowman Beach. Many folks in West Seattle would walk to Loman Beach to celebrate the holiday season. Was so easy to get to Lowman Beach. I miss that.

Why don’t the Christmas Ships go to Lowman Beach anymore ? We used to look forward to seeing and toasting them as they went by, singing.

I was looking for the Lowman beach night! :(

Very sad to see they have not arranged the schedule for Lowman Beach, now that the park is finished. It was a tradition for as long as I have lived here.

It might be worth reaching out to Argosy to ask about adding Lowman beach next year. I know they lost a lot of people during the pandemic and it might just be a case of the new crew not knowing about the tradition.

Sorry, comment time is over.
